I thought this was a good starter recipe. The only change I made was using cream of broccoli soup instead of cream of mushroom. Next time I will add more ham and broccoli and less potatoes; maybe add some chopped onion. Also, this makes makes a lot.

This was very good. I made it as written and it made a very big casserole. I froze 1/2 of it and forgot about it and found it several months later. I heated it up in the microwave and it was still delicious. I will definitely make this again.

I loved this- I used to make a similar casserole using much higher-fat ingredients (mayo, tons of cheese, etc). It's a great blend of potatoes (I used the diced hash browns) and ham. Next time I will definitely add more broccoli- two cups isn't much in this big casserole. This would be good for breakfast, too. I served this with toasted rolls and salad for a declicious meal that I'm sure I'll be making again. Thanks!
